Hemerocallis
'Double Orange Zephyr'
daylily
This brand-new Dutch-bred Hemerocallis 'Double Orange Zephyr' cultivar, launched in 2024, breaks the Daylily mould! Let’s start with the colour—it’s the same intense shade as you find with orange juice, with darker orange veins to the petals. Then there is the flower itself: it’s double, packed with petals, and around 10cm across. Finally, we must consider the plant’s size: Daylily 'Double Orange Zephyr' is dwarf, at just around 45cm in height, and with arching mid-green sword-shaped leaves. Its flowers appear on stalks in midsummer. Even better, this vibrant newcomer to the daylily clan reblooms from late summer to early autumn, continuously proving that it is a plant to be noticed!
Daylilies are so-named because each flower lasts for just one day. However, the blooms come in profusion, on multiple flower spikes, and in sequence, so there is a glorious continuous display for several weeks. At such a small size, Hemerocallis 'Double Orange Zephyr' is perfect for edging paths, beautifying rock gardens, or for growing in patio containers, in full sun or part-shade. You can see why it has broken the Daylily mould!

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
